Fr. Massiah was taken ill Tuesday with la grippe, Thursday night pneumonia developed and Monday morning, des pite the best medical aid that could be given this faithful priest who has done such splendid constructive work in this city, breathed his last, mourn ed not only by those of his own communion, but by those of other faiths. The funeral was held from St. Thomas’ church, Thursday morning, Bishop Anderson officiating, with several other clergy of Chicago, New York and Detroit assisting. The body was taken to Detroit and lay in state before the altar there in St. Mat thew’s church Friday morn ing, interment being in Elmwood cemetery, Friday atfemoon. All the Detroit dailies where Fr. Massiah served as rector of St. Matthew’s church for thirteen years prior to go ing to Chicago, contained extensive and complimentary notices of his life and work. Father Massiah was a native of Barbados, British West Indies. He studied at Oxford and coming to America graduated from the General Theological Seminary, New York City. He held pastorates in Newark, N. J., Annapolis, Md., Cairo, 111., De troit, Mich., and Chicago. He had the honor of preaching in St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, a distinction that comes to few American priests. He was fifty-seven years of age at the time of his death, and is survived by his widow.
